PANAJI: Nearly four months after Goa’s tourism minister was accused of threatening and intimidating the management of a South Goa casino, the crime branch on Wednesday registered an offence against Mickky Pacheco for criminal intimidation and extortion. When contacted, Pacheco said he was not aware of the development.

An offence was booked against Pacheco and 11 others under Section 452 (trespass after preparation to hurt, assault or wrongful restraint), Section 384 (extortion) and Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.

The incident had occurred on May 31 but the complaint was lodged with Colva police only on June 10. A month later, the case was handed over to the crime branch, which after a probe, sought the opinion opinion of the director of prosecution. It registered an offence against Mickky and 11 others on Wednesday.
